First published in France in 1936 as a journal article, The
Transcendence of the Ego was one of Jean-Paul Sartre's earliest
philosophical publications. When it appeared, Sartre was still
largely unknown, working as a school teacher in provincial France
and struggling to find a publisher for his most famous fictional
work, Nausea. The Transcendence of the Ego is the outcome of
Sartre's intense engagement with the philosophy of Edmund Husserl,
the founder of phenomenology. Here, as in many subsequent writings,
Sartre embraces Husserl's vision of phenomenology as the proper
method for philosophy. But he argues that Husserl's conception of
the self as an inner entity, 'behind' conscious experience is
mistaken and phenomenologically unfounded. The Transcendence of the
Ego offers a brilliant diagnosis of where Husserl went wrong, and a
radical alternative account of the self as a product of
consciousness, situated in the world. This essay introduces many of
the themes central to Sartre's major work, Being and Nothingness:
the nature of consciousness, the problem of self-knowledge, other
minds, anguish. It demonstrates their presence and importance in
Sartre's thinking from the very outset of his career. This fresh
translation makes this classic work available again to students of
Sartre, phenomenology, existentialism, and twentieth century
philosophy. It includes a thorough and illuminating introduction by
Sarah Richmond, placing Sartre's essay in its philosophical and
historical context.
